Top Ten Tuesday | Seven Books from 2017 I *Really* Meant to
Read and Instead Allowed to Gather DUST!!

Hello fellow Top Ten Tuesday-ers and readers. Today marks
the end of something. Something the bookworm book blogger world has been able
enjoy for these past seven years.
Before we talk about what this is, let’s have a look at the official topic.

Broke and Bookish
January 9: Ten Books We Meant To Read In 2017 But Didn't Get To (and
totallyyyy plan to get to in 2018!!) – Broke and Bookish

Today’s bittersweet. Today is the last Broke and Bookish Top
Ten Tuesday. After seven years, the ladies at the bookish haven have chosen to
close their blog. Fortunately for those of us who so enjoy this meme and have
fond memories from our time participating, Jana (one of the Broke and Bookish
ladies) of the Artsy Reader Girl has decided to carry the meme over to her
personal blog.

To the ladies of Broke and Bookish, thank you for creating and hosting this meme for these many years.
It’s been a lovely place to meet new bloggers and bookworms to say nothing of
the fact it’s a darn fun meme. Thank you Jana for taking Top Ten Tuesday. We’re
glad to have you continue the tradition. We’ll look forward to January 16th’s
topic and our first Top Ten Tuesday with The Artsy Reader Girl!

Speaking specifically about today’s topic, we’re taking a
look at those books we really meant to read in 2017, but alas did not. I
suspect I could talk about a great deal more than seven, but since it’s 2017, I though picking seven was a good a
place as any to hit “stop” on.

Let’s have a look.

1. The One, the Heir and the Crown by Kiera Cass | Why I
haven’t finished these novels is a mystery. I so enjoyed The Selection and find them to be really entertaining stories; plus
they’re my kind of tailor-made kind of guilty pleasure reads.The One: Amazon | Goodreads; The Heir: Amazon | Goodreads; The Crown: Amazon | Goodreads

2. Murder on the Moor and Death at Thorburn Hall by Julianna
Deering | Julianna’s novels are always delightful. Sadly I haven’t read ‘Moor’
yet and because I’m a turtle reader, I will have to skip ahead and read
‘Thorburn’ next. Still, the former is on my 2018 reading list. Murder on the Moor:Amazon |
Goodreads; Death at Thorburn Hall: Amazon | Goodreads

3. Chasing Secrets by Lynette Eason | Completing Lynette’s dynamic
Elite Guardian series is something of a must for me. Hopefully sooner in 2018
rather than later. Amazon | Goodreads

4. Wait for Me by Caroline Leech | As I've read very little YA historical, this book really interests me! Add in the fact that the story also sounds interesting, and of course, I'm making this one a 2018 priority. Amazon | Goodreads

5. The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord | I remember being
so stoked to have Emery’s new book on my shelf. Though I didn’t get it read in
2017, that excitement remains. Amazon | Goodreads

6. When Tides Turn by Sarah Sundin | Reading Sarah’s 2017
release was something I had the best of intentions to read in 2017. Sadly, I
did not accomplish this. Amazon | Goodreads

7. Just Look Up by Courtney Walsh | Yet another book I had
every good intention of reading in 2017. But on the plus side, it’ll be another
fabulous book I can enjoy in 2018. Amazon | Goodreads

8. P.S. I Like You by Kasie West | 2017 is the year I
discovered Kasie West novels, and I look forward to discovering more of her
books in 2018. This one being high among them. Amazon | Goodreads

Ps; to everyone who visited last week's Top Ten Tuesday, and left comments... thank you. Life happens, and unfortunately I didn't get replies to them any sooner than today. As always, I read and enjoyed each one; thanks for your continued comments, and to those of you who have been a longtime Finding Wonderland reader, thank you for your support.

These are a few of
the 2017 releases I really meant to
read in 2017. Tell me about the books you fully meant to read in 2017, but
never did. I’d love to learn more about them (and perhaps discover moreto
add to my 2018 TBR. A TBR I suspect is going to spiral out of hand – rapidly.

Leave your Top Ten Tuesday links below. It will probably
take me a week before I swing by to visit, but I look forward to discovering
your lists and the books you meant to read in 2017.

I have heard some mixed things about the Selection series and I am a bit worried that the main character is annoying, but they do look like some guilty pleasure books. Good luck with your reading plans for 2018!

I still have to read the one immediately prior to this just-released title, Brittaney, but knowing I wouldn't have the time, I'll confess: I skipped it. For now! That's one I'll have to return to read at some point since I do love these characters. :)

I think PS I Like You is my favorite Kasie West so far, so I hope you'll enjoy it! I still have her two latest books to read so I'll get on that in 2018 :) Oh, and I still need the read The Heir and The Crown as well. Hope you'll get to all these in 2018, Rissi!

Thanks, Lindsey - me too! I have a feeling I will most definitely enjoy 'PS.' I have Kasie's just-released book from Harper and am excited about her story releasing this summer too. Anytime her name is on the cover, I take a closer look. :)

YAY! Here's hoping we both read those final 'Selection' books in 2018.

I need to read The Names They Gave Us and Every Sun a Star, too! They're both on my "must read soon" bookshelf hah. I really liked Wait for Me, so I hope you do, too! Hope you get to read all these soon!

I'm going to take the opportunity to praise The Sun Is Also a Star whenever I can. I loved that book so much. Nicola Yoon made me believe in this story so much. P.S. I Like You is probably my favorite Kasie West book. I hope you enjoy both!

Have a thought? Don't be shy, go ahead and leave one... or two... or three! I reply to every comment. If you're new to the blog, please don't hesitate to introduce yourself and your blog - we love chatting around here!
